I call it natural when it is within the normal diet of humans throughout their evolution.
Most of the food we eat every day today has not been part of the normal diet of humans throughout our evolution.The vegetables, the fruits, and the animals we eat have been bred and refined and genetically modified, and most are less than a few hundred years old.
You can simply answer this, is it in human's natural diet to have lots of aspartame intake each day?
No, but so what? If scientific consensus says that aspartame is perfectly safe to eat, I'll trust that. I avoid aspartame because I think it tastes like crap. That's a perfectly valid reason not to eat it.
"Because it's not natural and I don't trust those so-called scientists that say it's safe" is right up there with astrology and homeopathy.
